Various factors influencing the survival time of orthodontic bands cemented to first permanent molars with glass ionomer cement (KETAC-CEM, Espe) have been investigated. Data on 513 patients with 1424 first molar bands who completed orthodontic treatment between 1985 and 1989 inclusive were analysed. Performance of bands cemented to first permanent molars varied according to the operator, age of the patient and treatment mechanics, but not according to the sex of the patient or quadrant in which the band was fitted.

OBJECTIVES: To correct dental origin anterior crossbite by placement of Glass Ionomer cement occlusal stops on mandibular first permanent molars for maximum of two weeks. METHODOLOGY: 16 patients (age: 7-11 years) with dental anterior crossbite were treated by placement of Glass Ionomer cement occlusal stops on mandibular first permanent molars for maximum of 2 weeks to create 1mm anterior open bite. The patients were then recalled after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months for follow up visits. Fisher’s exact test applied using SPSS version # 25. RESULTS: 13 out of 16 patients were treated successfully within two weeks of placement of occlusal stops. Follow-up at six months showed no relapse in any of the corrected cases. CONCLUSION: Placement of glass ionomer cement occlusal stops for two weeks on mandibular first permanent molars is an easy approach to correct dental anterior crossbite.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the retention of glass ionomer sealant, Vitro Molar(r) (DFL) and Ketac Molar Easy Mix(r) (3 m ESPE) as pit and fissure sealants on first permanent molars, fully or partially erupted. Methods: The study sample consisted of 412 molars, among 110 children. The sealant retention was evaluated after 6 months of the application. Results: The results were collected through digital photographs and the retention results were assessed by the following System: score 0 - total retention; score 1 - sealant present in more than 50% of the pit and fissure system; score 2 - sealant present in less than 50% of the pit and fissure system; score 3 - missing sealant. Regarding the presence of the sealants in less than 50% of the occlusal surface, lower percentages were found for the two materials used as follows: score score 2 - Vitro Molar(r) (9,52% examiner 1 and 11.9% examiner 2) and score 2 - Ketac Molar Easy Mix(r)(9.52% examiner 1 and 10.71% examiner 2). Approximately 90% of the teeth sealed with Ketac Molar Easy Mix(r)or Vitro Molar(r) presented total loss (score 3). Thus, there was no statistical difference between the materials and between the examiners (p>0.05). Conclusion: Therefore it was concluded that the sealant retention in the studied population was not satisfactory for any of the materials used.

A 22-year-old woman reported with a cariously exposed mandibular molar. Pulpotomy was planned rather than routine root canal treatment, which was otherwise indicated. Amniotic membrane (AM) that has been extensively researched in different fields of medicine was used as the pulpotomy agent. After gaining coronal access to the root orifices, bleeding was arrested and activated AM was placed over the root stumps. Glass ionomer cement(GIC) was placed over the membrane and temporary restoration was done. One week later, permanent restoration with composite resin was done. The patient’s symptoms resolved, and the tooth started responding normally to vitality tests at subsequent follow-ups. The present case report is an attempt to use human AM as a natural pulpotomy agent for treating irreversible pulpitis in permanent teeth. Understanding of innumerable beneficial properties of the AM and its application in preserving vitality of permanent teeth is the main learning objective.

The lactic acid production in suspensions of plaque collected adjacent to orthodontic brackets retained with a glass ionomer cement (GIC), or a resin-based composite was investigated using a split-mouth technique. Forty-eight-hour-old plaque was collected at 3, 8, and 28 days, and 3 months after the onset of orthodontic treatment. Acid fermentation was induced by glucose and the L(+)-lactic acid concentrations were determined enzymatically after a 30-minute incubation period. Significantly (P<0·05) lower levels of lactic acid were found in plaque from GIC-retained brackets compared with the composite controls at the 28 days and 3 months sampling occasions, respectively. The results suggest that the use of GIC as a bonding agent in orthodontics can be beneficial for patients assessed at risk of caries development.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the shear strength of orthodontic bands cemented with a new Orthobite composite, comparing them to the conventional glass ionomer cement in bovine enamel and to analyze the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI). The sample consisted of 30 bovine teeth divided into 2 groups: Group I - Orthobite (FGM) and Group II - CIV MERON (VOCO). Prophylaxis has been made with pumice and water followed by cementation according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Afterwards, they were subjected to the shear test at a speed of 0.5 mm/minute speed. Data were submitted to the Student T and Kruskal- -Wallis tests. Significant statistical differences were found between the groups both in the shear strength values (p> 0.05) and in the ARI assessment (p> 0.05). The Orthobite cement proved to be statistically superior to MERON, that is, it presented a better margins seal and a greater resistance to displacement, so this stable union between the tooth and the band is fundamental for the success of the orthodontic treatment.

Background: The chemical-mechanical removal of caries involves the chemical softening of the infected dentin, following by the mechanical removal of the softened tissue using non-cutting manual instruments. Papacárie® (Fórmula&Ação, Sao Paulo, Brazil) is a product in gel form used for the chemical-mechanical softening of the affected tissue. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Papacárie®. Methods: Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed on 14 young permanent molars treated with Papacárie® and restored with glass ionomer cement (VitroMolar, DFL Ind. Com LTDA,Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) 24 months following intervention. Results: Success was achieved in 13 of the 14 cases. Conclusion: Papacárie® was effective in the treatment of carious lesions and constitutes a conservative alternative that offers benefits to patients.
